The Dark Dark Night!
Ms. Amanda Rodriguez
I happened to go to my mother's house this weekend to
visit my brother and spend some time with him and I really wanted to try
telling him this story because I knew he would enjoy it. I said to him
"Hey Elias, I want to tell you what happened to me the other night"
and of course he was all ears. We sat on his car-shaped bed in his room (which
just so happens to be pretty dim in there as the only window in there faces a
brick wall and he only has a small lamp for his main source of light) and I
began my plot-I mean story.
"It was a dark, DARK night", his face
already lit up with pure excitement. Now if I'm being honest I did forget
exactly how the story goes so, of course, I had to pull out improv from my
handy-dandy life skills toolbox. In my version of the story, I was on Instagram
when the witch arrived at my window and instead of going to bed, the witch and
I had a stare down until she vanished from my sight and left behind a puff of
smoke that spelled out "I'll be back my pretty". Which brought us to
the next night, when of course I am yet again on Instagram when I hear a
screech at my door and when I open it, there she is, the green-skinned witch
with large lips as red as blood. "My, what green skin you have," I
tell the witch, and "my, what big, red lips you have". The witch must
not hear this all the time because she smiled and said: "do you know what
I do with these lips?". Frightened I said..... that's when I stopped and
asked my brother, "what do you think I said to the witch" and he
said, "you eat people with those big lips!!". Little did he know he
was filling in the gap for me because my creativity was running low at that
point and so I said "YES that's exactly what I said" and the witch
said, "I'll show you what I do with these lips..." and she put her
finger over her lips like this and began to (blow raspberries). This killed
him! He found it hilarious. He thought the story was going to have a bad ending
but really it ended off on a silly note.
